Lilacs In Her Hair
She had charm.
She had grace
and soft sunshine in her face.
She had chic.
She had wile
and flash élan in her style.
She had knack.
She had skill
and large talent in her will.
She had flounce.
She had prance
and swan frolic in her dance.
She had form.
She had shape
and sweet body in her cape.
She had wit.
She had fun
and dry humor in her pun.
She had love.
She had care
and blue lilacs in her hair.
